Résumé:
Si une influence lie l'Ökologie Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) au Lebensraum de Friedrich Ratzel (1844-1904), une autre rattache ce dernier et son élève Franz Boas (1858-1942), futur fondateur de l'anthropologie culturelle américaine. Or, de traverses racistes en arborescences darwinistes, anthropologie, primitivisme et culture matérielle fascinent tout autant l'imagination d'Aby Warburg (1866-1929) que celle de Gottfried Semper (1803-1879). À partir de 1860, le vieil architecte féru de renaissance italienne et de romantisme néoclassique étend ses recherches à l'étude des «styles», fussent-ils maori ou océanien. Un écheveau plaçant l'acte de parure au cœur du dispositif se tisse alors entre les «revêtements» que sont tatouage, tissage textile et huttes.

Résumé:
Parmi les villes «héroïques» qui se réinventent pour renaître de la crise, Birmingham cumulait les handicaps, défigurée par la guerre et l'urbanisme moderniste, dévastée par la dépression industrielle. Sa renaissance spectaculaire repose sur une stratégie, conduite depuis plus de vingt ans, pour attirer le tourisme d'affaires et donner une priorité absolue au centre-ville, élargi, vivifié, embelli. Les moyens sont pragmatiques : des projets publics ambitieux qui dynamisent l'investissement privé, transformant la ville en lieu ludique et commercial de premier plan. Les partenariats public/privé, pratiqués depuis longtemps au Royaume-Uni, sont riches d'enseignements, y compris pour interroger leurs conséquences sur la qualité urbaine et la cohésion sociale.

The house of stone is the kind of project that happens only rarely : a house built to the highest standards of craftsmanship with the full support of the client, who acted as a patron of architecture in almost a Renaissance sense. This publication documents in full its making. It covers the initial phase of the project, the invited competition between Meili + Peter and Peter Zumthor, and contains a detailed description of the concepts underlying the design. A particular focus is the relation between the structural and the technical aspects of the project, which is described through engineering and working drawings as well as photographs of the house under construction.

Résumé:
Although patents existed in Renaissance Italy and even in Confucian thought, it was not until the middle third of the nineteenth century that architects embraced the practice of patenting in significant numbers. Patents could ensure, as they did for architects' engineering brethren, the economic and cultural benefits afforded by exclusive intellectual property rights. But patent culture was never directly translatable to the field of architecture, which tended to negotiate issues of technological innovation in the context of the more abstract issues of artistic influence and formal expression. In "Prior art," scholar Peter Christensen offers the first full-scale monographic treatment of this complex relationship between art and invention.

Résumé:
Over 20 years ago, architect Renzo Piano established his firm and dubbed it the Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW)--a name that recalls the art studios of the Renaissance, where the master artist worked closely and actively with his apprentices. Students have always been an active component of the Building Workshop, functioning in a team with experienced architects and other experts, contributing to an international array of projects from two studio bases: one in Paris and one in Genoa, Italy. This small, intimate publication presents essays on both the Building Workshop and Piano himself, together with photographs of the two studios and of completed RPBW structures.

Résumé:
"The collector of lives" presents a lively introduction to a seminal figure in the very human story of art itself. An accomplished painter, architect and diplomat, Giorgio Vasari (1511–1574) is best known for Lives of the Artists, his classic account of the great masters—a book that invented the genre of artistic biography, single-handedly established the canon of Italian Renaissance art and founded the cults of Raphael, Leonardo and Michelangelo that persist to this day. Vasari positioned art as an intellectual pursuit instead of just a technical skill, teaching us to view artists as geniuses and visionaries rather than as simple craftsmen.

Résumé:
Charles Waldheim traces the roots of landscape as a form of urbanism from its origins in the Renaissance through the twentieth century. Growing out of progressive architectural culture and populist environmentalism, the concept was further informed by the nineteenth-century invention of landscape architecture as a "new art" charged with reconciling the design of the industrial city with its ecological and social conditions. In the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, as urban planning shifted from design to social science, and as urban design committed to neotraditional models of town planning, landscape urbanism emerged to fill a void at the heart of the contemporary urban project.
